Front

What is the function of the xylem in plants?

Back

The xylem transports water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant.

Front

What does the root system of a plant primarily do?

Back

The root system is responsible for the absorption of water and nutrients from the soil.

Front

Which of the following is NOT transported by the xylem?

Back

Sugars are not transported by the xylem.

Front

What is the primary function of the shoot system in plants?

Back

The shoot system regulates gas exchange and water loss in the leaves.

Front

What are the two main reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

The two main reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll is the pigment that captures sunlight for photosynthesis.

Front

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Back

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Front

What is the main product of photosynthesis?

Back

The main product of photosynthesis is glucose (C6H12O6).
